Hi Have you contacted the United Brethren Archives? The archives for the existing UB church is at Huntington College in Huntington, IN. The archives for the Evangelical United Brethren Church (merged with the Methodists in 1968) is at Dayton OH (I belive it's Union Theological Seminary). The Source gives the address as Historical Society, 1810 Harvard Bldg, Dayton, OH 45406. The two branches split in 1889. Mrs. Jane Mason is the Archivist at Huntington. Her e-mail is [email protected] They have old conference records, an obituary card file and other info. I've never been to Dayton, so I can't speak for what's there. My 2nd great-grandfather (George Robinett) was minister on the Mt Pleasant Circuit in 1884. Another 2nd great-grandfather was presiding elder for the North Ohio Conference (which included DeKalb and Steuben Co) -- and his son was a minister in the NO conference and a UB Bishop -- so I have done a bit of work in this area.
